Welcome info on this page. On John M. Adkins; his daughter on 1850 census in Morgan County, KY named Columbia had an illegimate son named Farmer A. Adkins in about 1867. He mar. Eliza Lemaster in Johnson Co, 1898 and stated he was 31 yrs old, b. in Elliott County and did not know who his father was. In abt. 1901, before his son Ervin was born in Aug, he disappeared. Do you have any info on Farmer?

I do have Farmer A Adkins on my tree. He did marry Eliza Jane LeMaster 9 Feb 1898 in Johnson, KY.
I have Virginia and Columbia both died as babies. I’m not positive this was the case.
I also know that James Whitt married (Whitt, Jemes Virginia G. Adkins November 19, 1857) Virgina G Adkins daughter of Thomas but the family reports her dead as a baby ad their is no definitive proof that Columbia and Virgina were the same person. Since Columbia was living at home in 1860 after she would have been married in 1857. There could be many reasons for this.
I’ll try to see why the family reports it this way.

I should have put more time into this one. I can see that most of the girls were alive some 20 years after their reported deaths. I’ll fix this immediately. Thanks

Thanks for the help. About Columbia, I have a theory that on 1870 Census with Manerva Flannery as head of house; the person named Columbus, male, age 36, could in fact have been female. I ran into this on another line in Elliott on the 1870. Possible? And, could Columbia have been mentally, verbally or otherwise disabled?

I am looking up any information of my Grandfather George J Adkins born Jan 19,1919 he passed away April 10,1969..buried at Adkins Cemetery Van Lear KY..I was reading the replies above.His mother was Myrtle Manbeavers,my great grandmother, LeMasters is somehow related to me also,cant point where.My Father born George Edward Adkins,His brothers are Kenneth and Roger..I also remember my mother telling me about a Polk family and Sarah Adkins…any information so so greatly appreciated…

My recent research verifies that John Morgan Adkins is my 5th great grandfather through his second wife Minerva, through the Flannery line (my mother’s (Patricia Lownsdale Best) father’s (Jack Lownsdale) mother’s (Lelia Flannery Lownsdale) maiden name).
